Default Do you guys use Lift pads for you Jacks / Jackstands?
<center><img src="http://www.purems.com/images/fullsize/PROTECHSIDEPAD_fs.jpg"></center><p>i saw these on PureMS and also the bentley manual mentions something about using lift pads, but i'm always a bit unsure about the best placement of my jack / jackstand when i'm workin on the car...

Are these worthwhile so as not to bend the lip on the underside, or do you guys have a better way to support the car....?

Thanks...

Sears jack? The red craftsman aluminum "light weight" one? If so, you said JC Whitney for that?

Default I have a set of sears jack w/ a pair of ramps.
ramps are cheap and a lot easier to use if you are not working on wheels/brakes.

They only have the 1007 listed which is 3.75" OD, PureMS also lists the 1006 (4.5" OD)

Default YEah, but i bought some coilovers (not installed yet)...doesnt the bumper hit the ramps...
i'd also like to upgrade my front bumper in the spring and i figured that it would rub on the ramps when you try and drive up em...
